Re: The Deafening Silence
I hate to read these stories (untold in my part of the world), because I know that my country are very much to blame for this to happen, all the people of my parents generation wanting these to happen. Just as they felt a collective guilt for colonialism, I feel guilty for this. I hope it is good for you all to hear that things are changing fast in socialist Europe. I will give these poor people some painful thoughts and do what I can not to let it happen again.

Re: The Deafening Silence
Only over the last several years have I learned much about Rhodesia and South Africa. After being to South Africa, I feel that I have been uneducated and missed an incredibly rich culture and history. I am trying to make up for lost time.
The massacre was appalling, and gives pause for those who feel the United States and Great Britain among others, are only concerned with the welfare of other whites, or the "free flow of oil". Explain the silence. I guess they find it an inconvenient truth. I have found no one in the United States who know of farm invasions in Zimbabwe, Rhodesia or South Africa. It seems, in public schools, Southern Africa does not exist.
Books such as The Great Betrayal, Never Quite A Soldier, and Cry Zimbabwe I have never seen here. Fortunately, I was able to find them in SA. Money well spent.

Re: The Deafening Silence
Hi seagravediver, someone recently placed a link to a book that you can download free off the www. I'ts quite old, but very interesting to read as well: http://www.archive.org/details/TheSiegeOfSouthernAfrica
Some of the lessons I learnt from it: 1) Have a gun, 2) Have friends who have guns...
